You are so underrated. Thank you for this course!

Magnificent

Yr video good. Whats yr chess rating bro? We wanna know who is teaching us.

Magnificent series, great explanations

2/4 GREAT PUZZLES]

As a beginner there's things I don't understand, can anybody explain the following? At 1:55 it is said that Bb5 is a good option, it pins the black knight to the king etc. But why is it good if something as simple as black pawn in a6 will make the bishop retreat? And especially considering that everyone warns that moving the same piece twice is not good and it's shows a poor decision?

Beautiful traps!

You are so good at this, man. I hope you come back to opening videos at some point. Queen's Indian masterclass, perhaps? Love your work.

This is the most helpful video, or guide in general that I've found for this opening, thank you! A lot of the other stuff I can find focuses on teaching the mainlines without a lot of ideas of the concepts, and at my level people aren't really playing the mainline here :P Especially the bits about when to trade the white bishop or not, when to play f4 rather than c4 d4 were SUPER helpful, I knew of those possibilities but had no idea when one was better than the other.

Both ! If you want to progress in chess, you gotta know both.

Using this to prepare for an OTB-rated tournament. Can't believe I'm getting all this for FREE! I can't stress enough how grateful I am. Huge respect for you sir.

Appreciate this bro, very informative

Quick question: Is the bayonet variation of the kings Indian a black or White strategy

Huge thank you from St. Lucia! 🇱🇨

Nice work. Just getting into chess again. You got right to the point, unlike other videos I've watched about the backward pawn.

Such an underrated channel and playlist. This is awesome

Bravo!

Dam it’s so complicated but helps a lot getting dubs

Move order is important. e4 b6 d4, black should play 2... e6 which allows the c8 bishop to come out sooner to pin the c3 knight. If instead, 2.. Bb7, 3. Nc3 e6 white can block the pin with 4. a3. Thus, e6 BEFORE Bb7.

But what if they first take with the bishop and then take our bishop with the knight? 8:16

1:42 Why do we assume white DEFINITELY play bishop to e3? Bishop to f4 looks like a good option and less passive.

I find it too easy for me but it’s very interesting puzzle tho. Can you recommend the book that’s harder and can help my calculation?

3/4 in last one i got very confused weather to unpin the knight but eventually rb8 works

Thanks

Never thought of Be6! ! masterline! I loved it !!

Isn't the classical variation like Colle zukertort ? Like the plans and even the stepup later on

Thank you for for the ideas....😀

😅4:19 why cant the black queen take the pawn with the queen again

Just mind-blowing explanation ❤❤❤❤

Truly excellent video. What do you suggest if, instead of 8. e4, White plays 8. Bf4 with the plan of Rc1 and c5 with play down the c-file (& to weaken d6). Chasing the Bf4 with Nh5 doesn’t help as it just drops back to Be3 & if Black plays Nh5-f6, White responds h3 etc. I’ve had a hard time finding anything clear & convincing against White’s 8. Bf4 even with the help of Stockfish as White still has a lot of flexibility & if Black somehow gets in b5, White after Rc1 etc can just bypass the pawn break with c5 trying to undermine d6 & crack open Black’s central pawn structure. Any insight you can give on how best to combat White’s slippery set up will be most appreciated! Cheers!

had somebody try and do this to me and completely destroyed him lmao

Hello! I came across this video by chance and I was surprised by how good your explanations are, it shows that you put a great effort into preparing everything, and you have a talent for explaining, I have seen videos of great teachers of this topic or defense and I don't know They understand, they don't know how to explain, you are a talented young man and I loved your final greetings: peace!! Which is something that needs to be promoted in this world! ahira has gained you a new follower and I hope to be able to keep in touch with your channel, a big hug and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

New to chess learned the kings Indian. ATM it's my most go-to move with black. But my midgame is still quite off so Ty this may help a little 😁

5/6 in 2nd puzzle i thought of n takes e7 q takes q r takes q but instead of blundering by took ne7 black can play b takes f6 and game is equal

settled on the jovada london for white and have just been trying to achieve quick development and play good chess for black but I'm leaning towards the dragon sicilian for the black rn. Only been playing a couple months and went from 450 to 700 since i started.Love your videos dude, thank you

This does not actually work! The winning line for White is 4. Ng5 Nxe4? 5. Bxf7+! Ke7 6. d4!

Do you edit your own videos? If so, what editing software do you use?

I just got my ass beat cause I wasn't familiar with the fantasy so now I'm here

5/6

The Caro-Kann increased my ELO to 1400. I was trying to solidify my understanding of the Caro-Kann, and I found you. Your videos helped me to become a 1500 ELO player. Keep it up bro ❤❤.

It's disappointing how incredible channels like yours don't get millions of views as they deserve to.. this is higher quality than most paid courses I have seen!!

5/6

U talk too much b*tch🖕👎

Bro, I love your videos and courses!!! They are the best things I have found online! Everything is so accurate and interesting! Please start uploading again!

nice

This content drop is CRAZY. I'm glad we were all able to stumble upon masters with initiative like you, and I'm glad that I have found this

but wby dont you put pgn nmoves in a comment?!!

Hey I know you haven't really been posting videos lately but if you did do some more masterclass's, then please do the Ruy Lopez, Catalan, or Sicilian with ...2 e6 (or 2... nc6 and then 3...e6), or even all of them if you want lol. But, I know it takes a lot of time so don't feel like you have to.

Could you please do a video on what the 1.Nf3 (reverse KID/Pirc) player should do if Black responds with 1.Nf3 2. g3, b6! 3.Bg2, g6! going into a double Fianchetto set up? Because Black had refrained from occupying the center with any pawns it unclear how white should proceed. I’ve tried b3 to meet the double Fianchetto with my own double Fianchetto & hopefully get black to commit in the center first but it ended up a very drawing symmetrical English, as Black just copied my moves.
